Javascript – New to JavaScript, coming from Python, why is it not working? [duplicate]

Problem:

the print is not working.

const print = console.log();

print("Hello World")

anyone have any ideas what is going on? I am trying to make a print function in JavaScript. I come from a Python environment… Please help me with this. I appreciate any help from someone who know how to solve this question. Thanks in advance.

Solution:

If you insist on doing it the wrong way, here’s what you can do:

const print = console.log
print("Hello World")

But the right way of doing it, is:

console.log("Hello World")

Some explanation: console.log is a function, but console.log() is the stuff that the function returns, which in this case, it’s undefined. So if you want to save a reference to the function, you should use console.log.
